Tuesday.

Let's see.

Baked two pumpkin pies first thing this morning.

Taking the wife out for lunch.

Our ham radio club has a first-Tuesday-of-the-month, meet-and-eat at Golden Corral.

Looking forward to a sociable get-together!

Got geared up for a muzzleloader shoot tomorrow, need to do some work on the plow truck, clean septic tank filter, then get ready for hours of counting votes tonight.

Ham sandwich or ham & beans on the menu? 😁

Just got a call from the Town Clerk. The most voters we have ever had is just shy of 200, as of noon, we already have over 300. I'm praying they aren't looking for more of the same Socialism, but we are a blue state. We'll see in a few more days!

After they've had a chance to find all those "misplaced" boxes of ballots...  🗳  😕

Since I'm a counter, I'll know at least where our little town stood!

I voted today. I celebrated “Talk Like a Pirate Day” as I went through my ballot. I voted for the Arrrrrr’s.  As is my right!

Abilene Slim, I am a native Appalachian: as a hillrunner from earliest childhood, I am steeped in the beliefs and superstitions of the hill country, including a firm belief in signs, omens and portents.

I've benefitted many times by the quiet words of my Godly wife: she was overlong getting ready to go vote, and by the time she followed the fine example of our esteemed Pat Riot and spoke like a pirate 😁, the noontime luncheon was already underway: when we came to the roundabout on our line of march, there were red-and-blues on either side, traffic was backed up, I took a fast detour and nearly missed a stop sign I'd stopped at a thousand times.

Not even a close call but not seeing it until the last moment scared me, it genuinely did.

My bride took my hand and suggested we eat locally instead of clear up in the county seat.

So -- instead of ham and beans, or ham sandwiches, or beenie weenies, she had a chicken quesadilla and I had a bacon cheeseburger, and a truly excellent dark blend of coffee!
Erp!

My tummy is smiling!

Tuesday was the day that my doc changed treatments and she sewed the open wound on my foot closed to help with the last bit of healing.  It made Tuesday a lot better!!

 

A couple of other things happened that day as well!!  
 

It rained substantially for the first time in nearly a month, (we’d had a shower or two and occasionally some sprinkles) so the dust has settled and the grass is greener!

 

I got my quarterly blood testing done so that I won’t have to worry with that for the rest of the year!

 

Then, late Tuesday afternoon, something that we’re apparently not allowed to discuss, (there was another innocuous thread recently removed that hinted at the same event) happened that quite possibly made the vast majority of folks on this forum the happiest they have been in several years, as a group!!

 

I’m still giggling like a little kid who is being tickled with a dozen feathers!!

    ...... so, now it's a week later; ..........

 

         ....... how many "celebiddys" have left the USA because of the election result this time ?  🙃

[Eyesa Horg]

Zero as far as I know. Like those elected, they don't have to do what they say they will.

 I suppose they could be classified as political promises  (the non-binding kind) .....  🙃😇🙃

Count yourselves lucky they didn't leave. Canada, New Zealand and Australia were their proposed destinations.
